"Freedom from indefinite imprisonment at the will of the
Executive" represents the "very core of liberty."
- Former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
Patriot,
You, Patriot, can give people a trial.
You, Patriot, can give people a judge.
You, Patriot, can give people a jury.
You, Patriot, have the chance to end indefinite detention in the
United States of America.
That's what can happen if we pass an amendment to the National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
The U.S. House will soon be debating the 2025 NDAA, and you and I
have a chance to make a BIG change.
Among the 1,386 submitted amendments (of which 241 came after the
deadline, but to Congress, the rules don't always matter) that
will likely be debated and voted on, one stands out above the
others: Amendment Number 48 would end the indefinite detention of
American citizens without the due process they are entitled to
receive.

This is something Campaign for Liberty has fought for ever since
then-President Barack Obama signed the 2012 NDAA into law.
In 2011, Campaign for Liberty almost stopped passage of the NDAA
over this very issue.
Our efforts brought unprecedented attention to the threat of
allowing the government to detain American citizens without due
process.
As a result of the outcry from Campaign for Liberty supporters
like you, Barack Obama publicly pledged never to use it. . .
But a "pledge" does not have the power of law.
And now that the Biden regime has crossed the line, declaring
protesters to be "insurrectionists" and even suspending some of
their due process rights, this provision of the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) needs to be removed now.
Click here to tell your congressman to support Amendment 48, to
repeal the NDAA provision that suspended the due process rights
of American citizens and allows for their indefinite
imprisonment.

The truth is, NO U.S. President should have the power to lock up
American citizens and throw away the key without due process.
You may think you are not in danger of being indefinitely
detained because you obey the law.
But Patriot, without due process, there is no requirement for
the government to prove the detainee did anything wrong.
There is no trial.
There is no burden of proof.
There isn't even a need for the government to verify the identity
of the person they've arrested.
Unless the unconstitutional provision is repealed, there is no
way to stop any U.S. President, DOJ bureaucrat, or authoritarian
military official from indefinitely detaining their most vocal
opponents.
The government would have you believe there are Americans out
there who are too dangerous to release . . . but somehow, they
cannot be prosecuted.
In other words, they want to "indefinitely" detain people they
cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt have broken any law.
No one should be indefinitely detained without charge or trial
based on a president's belief that the person is "dangerous." No
president - and certainly no government bureaucrat - should ever
be given the power to order a person indefinitely detained
without charge or trial on the basis of perceived future danger.
Patriot, this dangerous power should have been reined in long
ago, but now it's urgent we do so.
Tell your congressman to support Amendment 48 and terminate the
unconstitutional indefinite detention of Americans without trial.

All it takes is for this amendment to be adopted - and we can win
this fight, if enough patriots speak out. The government has
shown zero evidence this measure served any purpose in protecting
our national security in the past twelve years.
But this administration is a prime example of why government
should NEVER be given this power.

P.S. Passing this amendment to stop the indefinite detention of
Americans should be a no-brainer but remember there are those in
Washington who appear eager to throw their opponents in prison
without charges or trial.
That's why it's so critical you contact Congress and DEMAND they
remove the provision in the NDAA which allows for the indefinite
detention of American citizens.
